## Summary

Ben Westwood fears the final fashion collection he worked on with his mother, Vivienne Westwood, may never be released. The collection’s future is uncertain amid a legal dispute between the Vivienne Westwood company and the Vivienne Foundation over rights to the designer’s orb logo and early designs.

Vivienne Westwood died in December 2022, aged 81, and Ben, 63, says a major hurdle remains before he can proceed with the collection. The company filed a copyright and intellectual property claim against the foundation last year; the charity says the designer transferred the copyrights to it before her death. Ben is a director of the foundation alongside his half-siblings and Westwood’s widower.
